Inside

Golden irises filled with discontent and betrayal Soaked with the warm blood of another
Laughter echoed with denial
Love never ends.

She prepared for a journey
She had never anticipated
Nomadic blood pulsated through her veins
Without the knowledge of mother and father
The origin of her being was unknown
Always searching for acceptance
Always receiving rejection
The amulet was the key
Her heart was the map

Wandering through a never-ending mist
Unable to see
Unable to breath
She was no longer the leader
Fate became her navigator

The swamp bound with
A legend
A myth
A tale to be told

Strong, Staunch, and Wise
Unlike the rest of his kind.
Honorable, Amorous and Generous
Made him the outcast of the tribe.

Forever confined
The only joy he had
Was helping the petite dwellers of the land.

A series of blood curdling screams
Quivered the giant's tympanic membrane
A salt tear darted to the earth floor
Empathy filled the colossal's heart
Roars of fierce being
Abrupted the tranquility of the swamp
Familiarity strucked
This was no ordinary monstrosity
The heroine encountered
Grabbing hold of a scaly bicep of the beast
Our young opportunist began to rise

Unaware of its assassin's pressence
Made the task effortless
If completed swiftly

Reaching the peak
Fear did not faze her
Fear was nothing more than a game
A game she conquered many moons ago

Daggers in hand
She pounced
A lioness after her prey
Gliding through the stratosphere
Arms positioned
Ready for execution

Blood marked her the predator
And the dragon her prey

But this isn't the end of the tale
Its only a fragment
Of a triumph beginning
